Self-Introduction

"I am very thankful for having the chance of meeting you. To save the church, and to bring these unhappy times to a halt, I will sing. I think music can bring joy to people, for me at least, there is nothing that brings me more joy than singing..."

Character Description

Clarice is a compassionate and kind woman of faith. With a love of choir music, she seeks to become an idol to spread joy and happiness. Clarice uses the money she makes as an idol to run charities and pay church bills, all while never keeping any for herself. She is depicted as one of the most levelheaded and mature idols, and as a good listener, due to confessional experience. Clarice will also take the duty of helping out others and take charge of situations in a heartbeat. When faced as a rival by other idols, she considers her defeat to be a sign from God, because the Producer is a good man who cares for others. Due to her work as a woman of faith, she's not very used to being around men.

Interestingly, the exact nature of her blindness is not specified, perhaps because she was not originally intended to be. She is able to wander locations without use of a walking stick or trained dog, and she hasn’t been seen with scripts or lyric sheets written in braille. However, two of her cards display her having problems from lack of sight: the first with the Producer accompanying her to an art museum to describe the exhibits, and the second with her tripping in a messy room and needing the Producer to gather the papers she dropped.

Additionally, Clarice's religion is kept very vague- it resembles Catholicism in most aspects, but varies from it as well. She is obviously a nun and talks about God and Heaven, but the series never delves into it further than that.

In the tie in Cinderella Girls Theater skits, Clarice is shown to be a calm and reserved young woman. She is able to silence Kirari Moroboshi with only a stern look, although it’s hinted that the taller girl may have seen Clarice’s eyes. She believes it is very bad to let food go to waste, and as such forces herself to eat Natalia’s disgusting banana and sushi combination. She believes Christmas to be a peaceful and splendid day that should be void of all conflict. Shiori Sena and Marina Sawada both admit that they would like Clarice to officiate their future weddings. Tsukasa Kiryu and Kiyomi Saejima mistakenly assume her to be asleep due to her always closed eyes.
